2 Kings 2
1 And when the Lord would take vp Eliiah into heauen by a whirle winde, Eliiah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Ɛberɛ a Awurade pɛɛ sɛ ɔnam ahum so fa Elia kɔ ɔsoro no, na Elia ne Elisa nam Gilgal ɛkwan so.
2 Then Eliiah saide to Elisha, Tarie here, I pray thee: for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. But Elisha said, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they came downe to Beth-el.
Na Elia ka kyerɛɛ Elisa sɛ, “Tena ha na Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ, menkɔ Bet-El.” Na Elisa buaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase, na wo nso wote ase no, merennya wo da.” Enti, wɔnante kɔɔ Bet-El.
3 And the children of the Prophets that were at Beth-el, came out to Elisha, and said vnto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take thy master from thine head this day? And he said, Yea, I knowe it: holde ye your peace.
Adiyifoɔ kuo a wɔfiri Bet-El no baa Elisa nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Na wonim sɛ Awurade rebɛfa wo wura afiri wo nkyɛn ɛnnɛ?” Elisa buaa sɛ, “Aane, menim saa. Nanso, monnka nkyerɛ obiara.”
4 Againe Eliiah saide vnto him, Elisha, tarie here, I pray thee: for the Lord hath sent me to Iericho: But he said, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they came to Iericho.
Na Elia ka kyerɛɛ Elisa sɛ, “Tena ha, na Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ, menkɔ Yeriko.” Nanso, Elisa buaa bio sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase, na wo nso wote ase yi, merennya wo da.” Enti, wɔnante kɔɔ Yeriko.
5 And the children of the Prophets that were at Iericho, came to Elisha, and saide vnto him, Knowest thou, that the Lord will take thy master from thine head this day? And he sayde, Yea, I knowe it: holde ye your peace.
Na adiyifoɔ kuo a wɔfiri Yeriko baa Elisa nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Na wonim sɛ Awurade rebɛfa wo wura afiri wo nkyɛn ɛnnɛ anaa?” Ɔbuaa bio sɛ, “Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo, menim. Nanso, monnka nkyerɛ obiara.”
6 Moreouer Eliiah saide vnto him, Tarie, I pray thee, here: for the Lord hath sent me to Iorden. But he saide, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they went both together.
Na Elia ka kyerɛɛ Elisa sɛ, “Tena ha, na Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ, menkɔ Asubɔnten Yordan ho.” Nanso, Elisa buaa bio sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase, na wo nso wote ase yi, merennya wo.” Enti wɔtoaa so kɔeɛ.
7 And fiftie men of the sonnes of the Prophets went and stoode on the other side a farre off, and they two stoode by Iorden.
Mmarima aduonum firi adiyifoɔ kuo no mu nso kɔeɛ, kɔgyinaa akyirikyiri baabi, hwɛɛ sɛ Elia ne Elisa gyina Asubɔnten Yordan ho hɔ.
8 Then Eliiah tooke his cloke, and wrapt it together, and smote the waters, and they were deuided hither and thither, and they twaine went ouer on the dry lande.
Na Elia bobɔɔ nʼatadeɛ, de bɔɔ nsuo no ani. Nsuo no mu kyɛɛ mmienu, ma wɔfaa asase kesee so twareeɛ.
9 Nowe when they were passed ouer, Eliiah saide vnto Elisha, Aske what I shall doe for thee before I be taken from thee. And Elisha saide, I pray thee, let thy Spirit be double vpon me.
Wɔbaa asuo no fa no, Elia bisaa Elisa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na menyɛ mma wo ansa na wɔahwim me akɔ?” Na Elisa buaa sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, ma mennya wo honhom tumi no mmɔho.”
10 And he saide, Thou hast asked an hard thing: yet if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt haue it so: and if not, it shall not be.
Elia kaa sɛ, “Woabisa adeɛ a ne yɛ yɛ den. Na sɛ wohunu sɛ wɔrefa me afiri wo nkyɛn a, wo nsa bɛka wʼabisadeɛ no. Na sɛ amma saa deɛ a, wo nsa renka.”
11 And as they went walking and talking, beholde, there appeared a charet of fire, and horses of fire, and did separate them twaine. So Eliiah went vp by a whirle winde into heauen.
Wɔnam na wɔredi nkɔmmɔ no, prɛko pɛ, ogya teaseɛnam baeɛ a ogya apɔnkɔ retwe. Ɛfaa wɔn ntam ma wɔn ntam teteeɛ, na ahum bi faa Elia de no kɔɔ ɔsoro.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cryed, My father, my father, the charet of Israel, and the horsemen thereof: and he sawe him no more: and he tooke his owne clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
Elisa hunuiɛ, teaam sɛ, “Mʼagya! Mʼagya! Israel nteaseɛnam ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ!” Na wɔyeraeɛ no, Elisa suanee nʼatadeɛ mu mmienu.
13 He tooke vp also the cloke of Eliiah that fell from him, and returned, and stoode by the banke of Iorden.
Na Elisa faa Elia atadeɛ ngugusoɔ a ɛfirii ne ho guiɛ no, na ɔsane kɔɔ Asubɔnten Yordan konkɔn no so.
14 After, he tooke the cloke of Eliiah, that fell from him, and smote the waters, and sayde, Where is the Lord God of Eliiah? And so he also, after he had striken the waters, so that they were deuided this way and that way, went ouer, euen Elisha.
Ɔde atadeɛ ngugusoɔ no bɔɔ nsuo no ani teaam sɛ, “Awurade, Elia Onyankopɔn wɔ he?” Ɛhɔ ara nsuo no mu paee mmienu maa Elisa faa mu.
15 And when the children of the Prophets, which were at Iericho, saw him on the other side, they sayde, The Spirite of Eliiah doeth rest on Elisha: and they came to meete him, and fell to the grounde before him,
Ɛberɛ a adiyifoɔ kuo a wɔwɔ Yeriko hunuu asɛm a asie no, wɔteaam sɛ, “Elisa abɛdi Elia adeɛ!” Na wɔkɔhyiaa no, kotoo no.
16 And said vnto him, Beholde nowe, there be with thy seruants fiftie strong men: let them go, we pray thee, and seeke thy master, if so be the Spirite of the Lord hath taken him vp, and cast him vpon some mountaine, or into some valley. But he said, Ye shall not sende.
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Owura, ka biribi na yɛn mu ahoɔdenfoɔ aduonum bɛkyini ɛserɛ no so, ahwehwɛ wo wura. Ebia na Awurade honhom agyaa no asi bepɔ bi so anaa bɔnhwa bi mu.” Elisa kaa sɛ, “Dabi, monnsoma wɔn.”
17 Yet they were instant vpon him, til he was ashamed: wherefore he saide, Sende. So they sent fiftie men, which sought three dayes, but founde him not.
Nanso, wɔkɔɔ so haa no ara, kɔsii sɛ, ɔnhunu deɛ ɔnyɛ ne ho, enti akyire no ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, monsoma wɔn.” Enti, mmarima aduonum, de nnansa kyinkyini, hwehwɛeɛ, nanso wɔanhunu Elia.
18 Therefore they returned to him, (for he taryed at Iericho) and he said vnto them, Did not I say vnto you, Goe not?
Ɛberɛ a wɔsane wɔn akyi no, na Elisa da so wɔ Yeriko. Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Manka ankyerɛ mo sɛ monnkɔ?”
19 And the men of the citie saide vnto Elisha, Beholde, we pray thee: the situation of this citie is pleasant, as thou, my lorde, seest, but the water is naught, and the ground baren.
Afei, Yeriko mpanimfoɔ kɔsraa Elisa. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔdɛɛfoɔ, yɛwɔ dadwene bi. Saa kuro yi daberɛ ne nneɛma a atwa ho ahyia yɛ fɛ, sɛdeɛ wohunu no. Nanso, nsuo no nyɛ, na asase no nso mma nnɔbaeɛ.”
20 Then he saide, Bring me a newe cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
Elisa kaa sɛ, “momma me nsukoradeɛ foforɔ a wɔde nkyene agu mu.” Na wɔde baeɛ.
21 And he went vnto the spring of the waters, and cast there the salt, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I haue healed this water: death shall no more come thereof, neither barennesse to the ground.
Afei, ɔkɔɔ nsuo no a kurom hɔfoɔ sa nom no mu, kɔtoo nkyene no guu mu. Na ɔkaa sɛ, “Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: Mayɛ nsuo yi yie. Ɛremma owuo, na asase no bɛma ne nnɔbaeɛ.”
22 So the waters were healed vntill this day, according to the worde of Elisha which hee had spoken.
Na ampa ara, ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, nsuo no ayɛ nsu pa sɛdeɛ Elisa kaeɛ no.
23 And he went vp from thence vnto Beth-el. And as he was going vp the way, litle children came out of the citie, and mocked him, and saide vnto him, Come vp, thou balde head, come vp, thou balde head.
Elisa firii Yeriko kɔɔ Bet-El. Ɔrekɔ no, mmarimaa bi a wɔfiri kuro no mu dii ne ho fɛ, seree no sɛ, “Tipa, foro kɔ ɛ! Tipa, foro kɔ ɛ!”
24 And he turned backe, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two beares came out of the forest, and tare in pieces two and fourtie children of them.
Elisa danee ne ho hwɛɛ wɔn na ɔde Awurade din domee wɔn. Na sisire mmienu pue firii wiram, bɛkunkum wɔn mu aduanan mmienu.
25 So he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
Elisa firii hɔ no, ɔkɔɔ bepɔ Karmel so, na ɔfirii hɔ kɔɔ Samaria.
